trick or treat

Finn decided to be 2 blue Legos for Halloween, an idea, made of cardboard boxes and plastic cups, that I found on Pinterest. He was thrilled by all the compliments he received on his costume. (We live in an area where princesses, super heroes, and other tv characters reign supreme.) Finn was the only kid here for Halloween this year. We spent about 45 minutes trick-or-treating, another 30 minutes handing out candy (he was VERY excited to hand out candy this year), and then off to bed just a few minutes later than usual.

This morning, as per our usual, Finn found that the Halloween Fairy had visited during the night and whisked away his candy, bringing a small Lego set, a new book, some organic chocolate, and a few organic gummy spiders. A perfect Halloween for a little guy, I think.

About Me

I'm Joy, wife to Paul, stay-at-home mom to Elizabeth (15) and Finn (9), and stepmom to Paulie (16) and Philip (13). I blog at An Art Family to remember their childhood and to make sure I get plenty of pictures of it in the process. I blog at The Book Children to satiate my love of discussing the hundreds of children's books I consume each year. We spend our days painting, drawing, reading, digging in dirt, walking in nature, stretching our imaginations, trying to enhance learning and creativity at home in a natural way, and then reading some more.
